Important E-Splost Information!
On November 3rd, Gwinnett County voters will be asked to extend the special purpose local option sales tax for education (E-SPLOST). Over the years, the E-SPLOST has funded educational capital projects that have benefited all students in Gwinnett County. (Our school building and the technology enhancements we received this summer were funded using E-SPLOST.) It is important for Gwinnett citizens to be aware of the E-SPLOST and the district’s plan for meeting the classroom and technology needs of Gwinnett’s growing student enrollment. Below you will find a flyer with answers to key questions regarding the E-SPLOST. You can also visit the Dyer webpage or the GCPS webpage for more information.
